Dieses Reisestipendium wurde mir zugesprochen, um mir eine Zusammenarbeit mit Dr. Yvonne Wengstrom am Karlinska Institute in Schweden zu ermöglichen. Ich untersuchte, wie Frauen begleitende endokrine Therapien erleben, die sie nach einer Brustkrebsdiagnose durchlaufen. Dr. Wengstrom hat langjährige klinische und Forschungserfahrung und leitete eine Klinik speziell für diese Gruppe von Frauen. Mein Ziel war es, vom schwedischen Modell zu lernen und in Kooperation mit ihr effektivere Pflegemodelle zu entwickeln. - 2012 Dundee Cancer Centre Development Fund.
